I know this is non-NASCAR news (sorry, Garrett), but seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher is currently in an induced coma after hitting his head in a skiing accident. Doctors say he'd almost certainly be dead if he wasn't wearing a helmet. At present they are trying to control the swelling in his brain and describe his condition as "critical".
